Juke Joint: September 9, 2018

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast, Robert Barclay celebrated the September birthdays of Barbecue Bob, Jazz Gillum, Shari Kane and John "Juke" Logan. He also debuted some new CDs by Mark Hummel, Frank Bey, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Amada Fish and Hidden Sayers.

Robert Barclay launched "The Juke Joint" broadcast on WCMU in April 1985. It has been a Sunday night fixture from 8:00-11:00 pm ever since. A devoted listener dubbed him the "Duke of Juke." He includes nearly a century's worth of blues history on his program including traditional and contemporary blues along with boogie woogie, soul music, rhythm & blues, zydeco and gospel music.
